I have just assembled a new computer and want to install an OS. I have
formatted and installed new OS before, so that is not a problem, but this
time I want to install multiple partitions.

I checked several partition managers, but they seemed more complex than I
need, multi OS, up  to 200 partitions, etc. I will use one OS, and will
not need more than four partitions.

Will FDISK, Format commands take care of my needs, or do I need to know
or use something else? Is there a limit on size of partitions using
FDISK? I have some hard drive manufacturers software, such as DiskManager
and DiscWizard. Better to use one of those?

How do I know how large a partition to leave for OS?
